Need some pickup recommendations

    Hello everyone!

    I have an LTD Viper 400 which has great sentimental value, and plays amazing. It was the first semi decent guitar that I got over 10 years ago, and I can never see myself selling it. The kicker is that I'm playing more rock than metal these days and I am sick of the compressed EMG tone, so the pickups have to go .

    For the neck pickup I have already picked out a "the Creamery Baby 71, wide range".

    Anyone have any suggestions for the bridge? I was thinking of possibly putting in a bare knuckle "the mule" but I've been told it doesn't handle higher gain tones very well.

    Other pickups that I have considered have been the PRS 59/09 and a Gibson Trembucker.

    I'm looking for this guitar to be me all around rock guitar, but I still would like it to be able to play metal at a pinch.

    What do you guys think? What would you pick up if you were in my situation?

    Budget is around 200 Euros shipped.

    Additionally, where do people buy second hand pickups on line these days?
